As I mentioned when we were voting on Jonah's rule changes, adding procedural hurdles does not make any sense without an umpire of sorts.  Who is going to decide if the proposal is a duplicate or altered enough to be a new proposal?  If someone proposes the exact same proposal a day after the prior vote (in violation of the proposed time limit), how is a second vote going to be prevented?

It may be good to have to be based on the type of proposal, e.g. TLD
vs. infrastructure proposals.
